That's probably a good a time as any. So now we all know how to spot you, right? As for me, I'm the guy who was taking notes on his palmtop computer during the presentation. 5'11", slacks, white shirt w/vertical stripes, no tie, gold-capped Parker pen in shirt pocket if not in hand. ... As for what's next, Paul Coad and I were recently talking about the idea that we (being interested computer collectors in the San Francisco Bay Area or some subset thereof) get together on the second Wednesday of each month for dinner, yakking, bragging about our latest k00l f1nd5, waving our appendages at each other and so forth. Sounds like a plan to me, except that, well, the second Wednesday was yesterday and I've been preoccupied with other stuff and not got round to getting the notice out 'til now. I've had this sort of conversation with some other folks on the list too. Y'all know who you are. It's time to get it under way, and at least Paul and I are gonna be there. The only requirement for participation is interest and showing up. Oh, and you gotta pay for your meal. So, what do y'all think? Who's up for it? The date is flexible. So is the location, but I'm thinking somewhere in Santa Clara County because that seems to be where the preponderance of folks I know about are. Maybe weekend days are better than weeknights for the folks less near Santa Clara County, I know they would be for me if this were somewhere else. -Frank McConnell
